The Headache Doctor Podcast
Even after trying medication, lifestyle changes, and other “research-backed treatments” for migraine symptoms, does nothing feel like it’s really solving the issue?
The Headache Doctor Podcast is on a mission to provide education and empower everyone with headaches and migraines to break FREE from a life of fear and dependence so that they can THRIVE in everything they do.
Dr. Taves, founder of the podcast and owner of Novera: Headache Center believes you deserve to feel in control of your health again — with more symptom-free days and less worry over when the next migraine will hit. Physical therapy for the neck at his clinic has decreased headache and migraine symptoms for hundreds of people.
Each week he dives into a topic related to headaches and migraines, or interviews experts to help you be informed as you manage your headaches and migraines.

What exactly is a cervicogenic headache, and could it be the diagnosis that's been missing all along?
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explains one of the most overlooked diagnoses in headache care—a headache that originates from the neck. He discusses why neck dysfunction is frequently mistaken for migraine, why imaging often fails to identify the real problem, and how using the right language with your healthcare providers could completely change your treatment approach.
You'll learn:
- What a cervicogenic headache is
- Why neck problems are often mistaken for migraines
- How neck dysfunction can refer pain into the head, face, and behind the eye
- Why X-rays and MRIs don't always identify the underlying issue
- Questions to ask your doctor or physical therapist
- Why improving neck function may help reduce headaches instead of simply masking symptoms
Plus, Dr. Taves answers listener questions about:
- Chronic headaches after whiplash
- Migraines triggered by lifting grocery bags
- Whether triptans prove you have migraines
- Daily headaches that start behind one eye
If you've been told everything looks "normal" but you're still living with headaches or migraines, this episode may change the way you think about your diagnosis—and your path toward recovery.
